Movie Reviews of WWE Vengeance 2003
Movie Review: An Brilliant PPV! History in the making
Summary: 5 Stars
By far, this was the greatest PPV I have ever seen! The best of the year so far and perhaps had some of the greatest matches ever to grace a PPV. Smackdowns very first PPV and Vengeance was so hyped up and the event truly lived up to its name.PPV kicked off with a hot and very loud Denver crowd exploding w3ith excitment and anticipation
Ultimo Dragon v Kanyon
Very good opener! Fast paced, high flying and Dragon's WWE PPV debut. Plenty of action to get the crowd rolling and many high spots (Dragon's inspirational finisher)
US Championship Finals
Chris Benoit v Eddie Guerrero
This was a classic display of techinal wrestling. One of the best matches I have ever seen and perhaps the match of the year so far! This was a huge diaplay of 100% wrestling and offense and these two great superstars put on one hell of a match. One for the ages. Many great spots and a very shocking ending! Benoit and Eddie are the best their is right now and whenever these two former best friends collide in the ring, you are guaranteed a great fight
Indecent Proposal Match
Jamie Noble v Mr Ass
Okay match to keep the crowd buzzing. The PPV return of Billy Gunn and he proved that he still the the baddest dog. Great ending with a very funny outcome. Torrie looked great!!!
Ist Ever Invitational Barroom Brawl APA
Barbaric Brawl and one hell of a sloober knocker. Fun to see all these Smackdown superstars get it on inside a bar ran by the ever so great APA. Fun to watch with plenty of hight spots (Matt Hardy's leg drop from the top of the stage) One to see!
WWE Tag Team Championship
Worlds Greatest Tag Team v Rey Mysterio & Billy Kidman
The best ever Tag Match I have ever seen. Fast and furious action from start to finish loads of breathtaking moves and high flying techinques. Everything you would expect from a tag match. Smackdown has the best stars and this match proves it. Mysterio is a wrestling dream and what he does in the ring is inspirational. Got to see this match, fantastic!
Undertaker v John Cena
Very good match and better then I thought. Cena has made his name after giving one hell of a performance. Taker is still the baddest dog in the yard but the New Skool proved that even he could go one on one with the deadman. Another classic match!
Stephanie McMahon v Sable
Good match. Great ending.
Mr McMahon v Zach Gowan
Bloody, brutal and one hell of a fight. I knew this match would be good and Gowan is excellent. What a match! The second best of the night. Venegance was truly upon both these two. Bloody and a nasty chair shot at the end.
WWE Championship
Brock Lesner v Kurt Angle v Big Show
SHOW STEALER! Other than Backlash, this is the best main event I have seen this year. It turned out to be more like a street fight and their were so many high spots and great moments in this match. very bloody and loads of great moves, (Angle slams Show onto the announce table) (Lesner Powerbombs Show) What a main event should be. Very nerve shredding and breathtaking with a very, very good ending (I am an Angle fan) Great battle for the gold and a very good end to a fantastic PPV!
Movie Review: Greatest PPV of 2003
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, so maybe the year 2003 isn't over yet, but so far this is the greatest ppv of 2003 imo, even better than WMXIX. Let's get to the matches.Finals of the U.S. Championship Tournament - Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit. This match was awesome, better than their match at Armageddon 02. These guys put on a hell of an opener, and really showed in this match that the title they were fighting for meant something. **** out of 5 stars(it gets 4 only cause Benoit didn't win)
Indecent Proposal Match - Billy Gunn vs. Jamie Noble. This match only lasted about 4 minutes, but still a good match by both men. Both men haven't been on a ppv for a while, but they put on an ok match. **1/2
The APA Invitational. This wasn't a match, it was a brawl, and not only that, it was a barroom brawl. This was basically made for all the SD wrestlers who didn't have a match for the ppv, and this match had some pretty funny stuff in it. ***
SD Tag Titles - World's Greatest Tag Team vs. Kidman and Mysterio. This match was a great match, all four men pulled off some amazing stuff in this match, and the crowd was really into it. The crowd really thought Kidman and Rey would win, but in the end, they came up a little too short. But still an amazing match. *****
Stephanie vs. Sable. I'm not rating this match, because I didn't watch it, and quite frankly, I may never watch it.
The Undertaker vs. John Cena. Great match by both men. I don't really take Cena too serious as a competitor, but if your the same way, this match will change your mind on that, because Cena put up a great fight in this match and Taker did the same. Both men put up a great match and it was better than I thought it would be. ***1/2
Zac Gowen vs. Mr. McMahon. What a match! I'm sure you wouldn't expect a real good match from a 50 something year old man and a one legged wrestler, but these guys did great. McMahon showed his ruthlessness in this match, trying to injure Zac's only leg, and Zac kept coming back and showed us his never give up attitude and pulled off some impressive moves. Zac Gowen deserves a push for his great abilities in the ring. ****
No DQ WWE Championship Match - Brock Lesner vs. Big Show vs. Kurt Angle. Well it became no DQ later on in the ppv, so you know this was going to be a great match. I expected this match to be real good, esepcially since it had no DQ, and boy was it ever. They did some amazing stuff in that match, like an Angle Slam on big show thru the announce table, a double chokeslam by Brock and Kurt on Big Show, etc. I really didn't expect Kurt to win, but when he did, I wasn't complaining, cause Kurt is a great wrestler, probably the best, and he deserves to hold that title. *****
There are no extras on this DVD. I have heard some ppl say that this DVD sucks mainly because it has no extras, don't listen to them. Sure this dvd had no extras, but the ppv itself made up for it completely, because it's the greatest ppv I've seen this year, and it probably will be the greatest when this year ends. I really enjoyed this ppv, forget renting it, buy it, it was worth every penny. You won't regret it.
Movie Review: Better Than Mania?
Summary: 5 Stars
This PPV surprised me. The matches did not look very good, but the wrestlers sure in hell pulled through.Matches: Rated out of 5 *'s
*= dreadful
**= flawed but worthy
***= good
****= memorable
*****= Awesome! Must SEE
Matches:
Finals of the United States Championship Tournament:
Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit
Great Match. Almost 25 minutes long!!! Main event material. Slighlty dissapointing ending with Rhyno goring benoit giving Guerrero the win brings this match down to a ****8/10
Jamie Noble vs. Billy Gunn (w/ Torrie Wilson)
Torrie Wilson looked hot on the outside. Couldn't really pay attention to the dull 3 minute match with torrie on the outside. The match was ok, but I don't really like either of these men, just torrie, lol. Just because torrie was there, i give this ***. If torrie wasnt there, it would be about *1/2
First-ever APA Barroom Brawl:
Doink the Clown vs. Brother Love vs. Matt Hardy vs. John and Matt from Tough Enough III vs. Bradshaw vs. many others
This match just gave you a little intermission from the real wrestling. funny match with the easter bunny. Why did Bradshaw win!?!? because of the ending, this match in **1/2
Tag Team Championship:
TWGTT vs. Rey Mysterio & Billy Kidman
Very fast paced exciting match. However, it was missing something. I am not sure what, but the match never had a turning point. Amazing shooting star press on TWGTT by Kidman. ****7/10
Zach Gowen vs. Mr. McMahon
Very bloody match. Much better than I expected. Zach Gowen isn't half bad. McMahon almost lost, but it was obvious he would win in the end. pretty good match ***
Stephanie McMahon vs. Sable
One of the best women matches ever! They actually wrestled. Both women were almost topless, and A-Train interfered. Very good match except the ending. Sable wins. ***
New School vs. Old School
John Cena vs. Undertaker
Great match. The right man went down. Great wrestling, one of Cena's best matches. Although this match was awesome, it was a little slow. Undertaker wins. ****7/10
Triple Threat for the WWE Championship:
Big Show vs. Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar
Wonderful match. Best of the night. Finally, a worthy main event. Great Hardcore match with mostly only lesnar and angle involved. Show was the only thing that slowed it down a bit, but luckily he was not involved too much. The ending happened to fast with hardly any finishers. Angle becomes the new WWE Champion. Big Show brings this down to a ****9/10
I give this PPV *****, but the dvd ****1/2
i saw this ppv on t.v. and i loved it, but when i bought it, i realized there were no extras! This ppv was amazing but the dvd was a little dissapointing. I was expecting there to be United States Tournament matches. No extras was indeed a setback, but the matches make up for it. This PPV might have been better than Wrestlemania XIX! Despite the lack of extras, this is still a must own for the dedicated WWE FAn. No Matches slowed this PPV down, it was all fast paced action wrestling.
*****!!!!
Movie Review: Smackdown's first ppv didn't dissapoint
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched Vengeance and I couldn't believe how good it was at capturing my attention. Of course this was back when Smackdown had all of its talent and was still a good show. A lot of good action and only one bad match in the entire ppv makes a moneys worth Dvd.
chris benoit vs. eddie guerreroe - this was back when i really hated Eddie and wanted Benoit to win. Now i'm glad that they were both champions at the same time. Eddie wins after cheating to win several times and giving a frog splash to Benoit. A great technical battle. 9/10
Jaime Noble vs. Billy Gunn - This was the worst match of the night and only last a few minutes. Jaime Noble wins and gets the chance to sleep with torrie, which never in a million years would happen anyway. 6/10
APA Barroom Brawl - This was more of a comedy than an actual fight. Too many people in my opinion, but it was a great idea for all the less known talent to get a chance to be on the card. The easter bunny is involved in a very funny moment near the end. Bradshaw wins the Brawl. 8/10 for the comedy instead of the fight.
WGTT vs. Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio - best match of the night and I was very shocked to see that it wasn't even a match of the year candidate. Lots of action and near falls, fast paced and exciting. WGTT gets the pinfall after an exciting double team maneuver. Come back WGTT!! 10/10
Undertaker vs. John Cena - A great fight between these two, this match should have a little shorter, but was still great. Third best match of the night. The undertaker wins after the last ride. 8.5/10
Undetaker vs. Zack Gowen - Oh boy, Zack, Zack, Zack, you were here for less than a year yet still it seems like so much longer, and I dont mean that in a good way. I knew this was a bad idea about having a one legged kid in the wwe. And when he fought Mr. McMahon I instantly knew who was going to win. It was cool though when Vince got busted wide open. Mr. McMahon wins. 7.5/10
Stephanie vs. Sable - A true catfight with no countouts in it. Stephanie looked really nice in her wrestling gear and sable was okay also {I'm not exactly her number one fan} A-Train comes out of nowhere and crushes Stephanie which allowed Sable the win. 7/10, this was just for Stephanies wrestling gear, hot, hot, hot!
Triple Threat No Disqualification match: Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle vs. Big Show - The No Disqualification stipulaion saved it in my opinion. A great match, the second best of the night. Trash can lids, chairs, and announce tables were all used in this match. Best moments were when Kurt gave the Angle Slam to the Big show through the announce table, and when Brock powerbombed Big Show off the top rope. Kurt wins after giving another Angle Slam to Brock Lesnar. 9.5/10
This was and still is the best Smackdown only ppv since last year. If you look at The Great American Bash this year and Vengeance last year, you can see just how far Smackdown fell down the hill. This is a great DVD.
Movie Review: Awesome show
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a wrestling fan since 1996 and have watched all kinds of wrestling. I have a wrestling DVD/VHS collection spanning over 50 all together. This is the most complete and accurate review of this event you will find. I hope you find this review helpful; remember to vote helpful or not helpful.(Note-Each DVD I review has a "Match of the DVD" award somewhere in it.)
WWE Vengeance 2003
This is one of the most solid wrestling events I've ever seen. This was Smackdown's first brand exclusive PPV and it did not dissatisfy. Sadly, there are no extras, but if you are just buying this for the show then you will be happy. Buy this DVD if you love wrestling.
Finals of the U.S. Championship Tournament (Match of the DVD Award)
Chris Benoit VS Eddie Guerrero
This was an insane way to kick off the PPV. This match is given plenty of time and it took off well. The added fact that this match was going to declare the first U.S. Champion made this match really special. The ref gets tore up in this match.
RATING-9.5/10
Indecent Proposal Match
Billy Gunn w/ Torrie Wilson VS Jamie Noble w/ Nidia
The story behind this match was that if Noble won, he would get to sleep with Playboy cover girl Torrie Wilson. This is all much to Nidia's distain. I've always been a fan of Gunn's offence; he has a wide variety of power moves he uses. Noble is always entertaining and pulls a great top-rope DDT in this match. The story is stupid but the match is solid.
RATING- 7/10
The APA Invitational- Bar Room Brawl
APA sent out invitations to a bunch of wrestlers (and non-wrestlers) to compete in a bar room brawl. This is a huge, entertaining spot-fest. Basically spot after spot and no time is wasted. You'll enjoy this one.
RATING- 8/10
WWE Tag Team Championship
World's Greatest Tag Team(c) VS Billy Kidman & Rey Mysterio
This is a decent tag match but it's nothing special. A few good spots including a spring board Shooting Star Press to a Kidman-Mysterio special.
RATING- 7.5/10
Stephanie McMahon VS Sable
Okay, this is the only dark spot on the show. Stephanie plays her part well and Sable does okay. Screwjob ending and it's over.
RATING- 3.5/10
Undertaker VS John Cena
I love this match. Cena as a heel was a great thing. This is your basic Undertaker brawl, but there is nothing wrong with that. Great match.
RATING- 8.5/10
Zach Gowen VS Mr. McMahon
This match is great for two reasons: Zach has one leg and wrestles great, and McMahon gets one of the sickest gashes on the top of his head. A one-legged man doing a moonsault is enough to entertain me.
RATING- 7.5/10
WWE Championship
Brock Lesnar(c) VS Big Show VS Kurt Angle
This match was a great way to end out the show, a solid match-up with no screwjob endings. Angle hitting the angle slam on Big Show is pretty nice.
RATING- 8/10
